			<link><![CDATA[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6516697]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[Many innovative solutions have been developed by the aeronautical sector toward achieving the future ?sustainable? aircraft that will be cleaner, quieter, smarter, and more affordable. Weight reduction is one of the most significant contributors to sustainability, as it improves aircraft performance (fuel consumption, noise, range) and consequently decreases its environmental footprint. Since the 1980s, the electrical flight controls system (EFCS), also known as fly-by-wire (FBW), introduced by Airbus on civilian aircraft [1], [2], has been a weight-saving technology in which the conventional heavy mechanical linkages between the pilot?s inputs and the control surface actuators were replaced by lighter electrical signal wires and digital flight control computers (FCCs). More recently, the electro-hydrostatic actuators introduced on the A380 [3] allowed the replacement of three conventional hydraulic circuits by two hydraulic circuits plus two electric layouts, which resulted in a weight savings of about 1 ton of mass for the aircraft. For future aircraft, the next important issue is the structural design optimization, which will result in lighter, and therefore greener, aircraft. However, this design improvement leads to increased interactions between EFCS failures and structural loads. Therefore, structural optimization must be properly accompanied by advanced fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) techniques for limiting the impacts of flight control system failures. Highlighting the link between aircraft sustainability and fault detection, it can be demonstrated that improving the performance of FDD allows designers to further optimize the aircraft structural design, which in turn leads to further weight reduction.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In this issue of IEEE Control Systems Magazine, we speak with Ronald Patton who is a professor of control and intelligent systems engineering at the University of Hull, United Kingdom. His B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees were from the University of Sheffield, and he worked at the British Broadcasting Corporation, Sheffield Hallam University, and York University before moving to the University of Hull. He is the coauthor of more than 150 papers, is coauthor/coeditor of several books, received the IET Kelvin Premium award, and has been active in IFAC. He is an IEEE Fellow.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Dynamic filters can provide powerful means to estimate hidden system states based on sensor data. For linear problems with Gaussian noise, the Kalman filter is the known optimal solution and has been available for a long time [1], [2]. Exact optimal solutions are rarely available for nonlinear problems, and the user typically selects from a variety of approximate techniques. These techniques include the traditional extended Kalman filter (EKF) [3]?[5], the iterated EKF (IEKF) [4], the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) [5]?[7], the particle filter (PF) [5], [8], [9], and the Gaussian mixture filter (GMF) [5], [10]?[12]. The EKF is widely used but is known to have degraded accuracy, or even to lose stability, for certain problems [5], [13], [14].]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ideal switches in power converters are typically implemented using unidirectional semiconductor devices that may lead to a new operation mode generically called discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The DCM arises when the ripple, that is, sustained oscillations of small amplitude, is large enough to cause the polarity of the signal (current or voltage) applied to the switch to reverse. Due to the presence of diodes, switches are assumed to operate unidirectionally, but in DCM this unidirectionality assumption is violated. In classicalconverter topologies, DCM appears very frequently in low load operating modes. More interestingly, to achieve high performance some new converters are purposely designed to operate all the time in DCM [1].]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[How can mathematics courses be taught so as to be more effective for the training of control engineers? Without doubt, the range of mathematical techniques relevant to at least one branch of control engineering is large and includes multivariable calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations, real and complex analysis, linear algebra, multivariable statistics, convex optimization, functional analysis, and differential geometry. To be effective in applications, a control engineer should also be versed in at least one other engineering discipline (such as electrical, mechanical, or aeronautical) as an understanding of a system is required before an effective control system can be designed. A control engineer should also be trained in systems and control problems and techniques, such as model identification, experimental design, fault detection and diagnosis, dynamic optimization, model predictive control, robust control, and nonlinear control. Collectively, the number of courses needed to cover all of these topics would be too high to fit into one curriculum, or even two curricula, which means that most control engineers take courses in only some of these topics.]]></description>
